The Daughter of Lu Bu

The three stood awkwardly facing each other as Xiahou Dun continued on with his lecture. "You will continue on your training and work together as a team. I expect a lot from the three of you. You will soon receive another member..." He paused taking in a breath of air. The eyes of everyone in the room focusing entirely on the gruff veteran, all aside from Lu Lingqi who's gaze was straight to what was in front of her.

His head turned to face the girl who stood next to Ba. "Lang Suo...correct?" He inquired to the other. She flinched and tried to hide the panic that she had from just hearing the commander mention her name. "Y-yes sir!" She puffed out a breath of air and fixed her standing, her posture straight and feet moving together. "You will be transferred to squad 5. This will be in effect as of now, so you may leave now to pack up your bags." The young girl sighed, gladdened that it wasn't anything serious. "Now...With all said and done, I want you three to meet up at the training area by noon. Is that understood?" The three gave a firm reply. "Excellent. Carry on." Xiahou Dun gave a quick bow before leaving the room. The four inside returning the bow with one of their own as he disappeared off to the side.

Awkward silence filled the room as all four of the soldiers stood quiet, unsure on what to say, staring at each other. Although the silence did not last as it was broken by the girl Lang Suo who placed down the dishes that she held and untied the bow that held her hair up. "Well I best be packing." She said removing the apron from her back. "I wish you three luck! Especially you two." She said looking back at Ba and Hui who both gave each other a hard glare before they both scoffed at each other. Suo giggled and made her way to the door. She gave Lu Lingqi a smile and a bow before she departed. "I wish you luck with these two! They can be a handful!" There was an engrossed grumble coming from Hui and a sigh from Ba, LingQi slowly nodded, and with that Suo left to the barracks. 

Once again an awkward silence filled the room and the three who remained began to give each other stares again. This one did not last too long as well, this time it was broken by Xiahou Ba who had approached LingQi with a smile. "Well, it's very nice to meet you LingQi. I am Xiahou Ba, son of Xiahou Yuan. It's-" He was then cut off as suddenly Hui stepped in and practically shoved him aside. "A pleasure to meet you. You say that each time and it's annoying to hear you in general." He mocked his hands being placed on his waist, his pose was as if he was standing above some sort of victory he had just achieved with ease. His hand moved up and his fingers poised towards himself. A grin curving on his visage. "I am as you should know. The one and only Zhong Hui, It must be a pleasure to meet me~" He said with a quick glance towards Ba. Taking his own words and twisting it up to make it his own. It made him sick.  He gave a heavy sigh and held back his fist that was quenched up next to him. 

But before Ba and Hui can begin their bickering once again. The fist of LingQi was placed on her open palm as she bowed once again. Her expression remained the same as it was when she walked in the door. And to them it seemed rather bored. "It is an honor to meet the two of you. I have heard about the two of you while in training." She said rising from her bow.

Hearing this brought some pride to the two, and both grinned at each other full of it. And both became easily competitive wondering if anyone thought the other was better. "You both bring honor to your families. I hope I can do the same for my father." She said to the two of them. "That shouldn't be too hard, you look like a very good warrior." Ba said with a smile. LingQi looked back to Ba with the same apathy she seemed to never be rid of. "It is hard to make my father proud, he is a great warrior who is very hard to impress." "Just who is your father then?" Inquired by Hui who crossed his arms and leaned in with a small hint of anxiousness. As she turned to face Hui, the two would suddenly be leaning in to hear who her father was. "My father is Lu Bu. A very proud warrior."

The two's expression fell as silence grew once again. The silence drew up the curiosity of the young woman who stood helplessly oblivious in front of them. Her brows rising in question. "Is something the matter."

And in that moment, The two were given a grim message.

"....We're fucked."

The new Teammate

"C'mon Hui! Give us a hand here with these dishes!" Said a female with long brunette, holding onto some glass plates with decorated symbols in the center. Next to her was a rather short figure whom had messy strands over his eyes, and was rather well-built despite that fact. He turned his head back to gaze past his shoulder, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the other behind him. "Hey you bastard, if you're going to do nothing why not die already?" He grumbled holding a wet rag in his hands moving it in a circular motion on a dish that was held in his other hand. Behind them was a rather slender figure who sat on a wooden stool looking over a window and stood next to a table filled with uneaten food. "I refuse to sully my valuable hands with such work! I will give a hand when we are doing something important!"  He barked back holding a bronze mug filled with jade tea in his hands. "Like to do what we were meant to do, slay titans!"  He declared in a pompous manner, slamming down his cup as he exclaimed. The shorter man gave a sigh and quickly spoke back to him. "Yes yes Hui, you're going to be the best cannon fodder there was. Now help us out here before the commander comes back." He tossed the wet rag past his shoulder, flying in the air and landing on the top of the head of the slender man. He became furious and he quickly brushed back the soaked clothe from his head. "Why you-!" He slammed his hand on the table and stood up from his seat. His face became red as he began to shout. "I am your superior and you will not ever do such a thing again!" The shorter man looked back with a devilish grin whilst the girl next to him just sighed, and continued to do her work over the sink." "The only superior is me, and you will listen to what I say Zhong Hui." Said a gruff voice from the doorway, Xiahou Dun, commander of the corp stood in the doorway. His figure alone was imposing and intimidating, and his sudden appearance grabbed the full attention of the others.  The quickly stopped and turned to the commander, giving a quick bow to the commander. The commander rose his hands up and the others rose from their bow. "Zhong Hui." He called out his one eye glaring at the man. Zhong Hui flinched and hesitantly looked back at the commander. Giving back a feeble yes for a reply. "I expect better from a son of a noble such as yourself, instead you are sitting around doing nothing. Pathetic." He called him out, and Zhong Hui looked away in shame. The shorter man, Xiahou Ba, the commanders nephew snickered. But as soon as he did his uncle's one eye fell on the youth. And Ba nearly jumped. "And Ba, you aren't doing any better bickering. I am disappointed." The commander gave no quarter in his lecture. Crossing his arms, he was ready to spit out more for them. "You're a team, and you two need to get along...Else you're both going to be eaten by the titans." He said as the two looked away from the commanders one eye. He gave a huff as his arms fell back to his side and he took a step away from the door. "Hmph. Which is why I am going to give you two someone to watch over the both of you. Meet your new teammate Squad eleven."

Behind him was a young woman who was just as tall as Xiahou Ba, and probably just as masculine. But her appearance seemed more like a beast if anything. The young woman bowed and introduced herself to her new squad. "Greetings. I am Lu Lingqi, It is an honor to meet you all."

"...General?"

"...Forgive me for being so bold as to speak against you, however I feel that you are somehow mistaken."

➹➹➹

Send a ➹ for a fact about the mun.

➹: I, much like Cao Cao, have great ambition am vegetarian. Different reasons, sure, but I cannot stomach red meat and poultry. Fish and some by-products like eggs are a-okay, though. Milk and cream are not.

➹: I cannot stand the taste of metal to the point where I get really grossed out eating with cutlery sometimes. There are two different sets of silverware in the kitchen, and one of them I cannot even touch let alone eat with.

➹: I refuse to touch used napkins. It doesn’t matter what it was used for, I won’t touch it if someone else used it. Even if it’s on a plate and I’m clearing the table or have gloves on or something, I won’t go anywhere near it and I don’t know why.

Dear Cousin (the one you want)

Xiahou Dun, 

If you’re reading this, then I’ve already passed on. Whether you were by my side within my final hours or not, I know myself well enough to know that there is a certain courage I was never able to acquire. There are certain things that were left unsaid, and though you will never hear me say them, at least you’ll know of their lingering existence now that they’re down on paper and known to you.

At this point my migraines have become unbearably painful to the point where I’m uncertain if my mind is my own. I am not blind, nor do I lack intelligence—I know that rumours of my most recent failures have been attributed to madness; that my most mistakes at home and abroad are blamed on my declining health. I have struggled to keep it all from the eyes of the public, but there are things that one cannot escape. Ironic how this is the cause of fate and death both. 

I am confident in Zihuan’s ability to lead, however I know that he will not do so in the way that I have. He has his own goals and ambitions, and while I am pleased that he has grown into a strong leader on one hand, I feel that he is blinded by his own pride on the other. I cannot ask you to guide him, for it is a task that even I have failed with. I cannot request for you to serve him as you have served me, and I will not demand that you remain in the service of the very kingdom you fought so hard to build and protect. I will, however, ask that you rest, Xiahou Dun. Our path has been a long one, and while I have very few regrets, my greatest one is going on ahead of you.

I never said it enough, but I know you felt it. You knew of the trust and faith I placed in you. You were the very crutch that kept me strong—it was you that kept me on track, protected and sacrificed everything that you could for my ambition. I’ve taken so much from you and given so little, so it is now that I am gone that I ask for your forgiveness. One day I will repay you for all the sacrifices you’ve made, though it will not be in this lifetime and perhaps not the next, but the next time we meet, Yuanrang, you will know how much you truly mean to me. 

Now go. You’ve lost far too much as it is, and I cannot stand to take anything more from you. It was you that built this kingdom. All I did was lead it.

Until we meet again,

        Cao Mengde
